Welcome to your private 21-acre luxury lodge on Donner Summit — one of the few rentals in the region offering both a private lake and South Yuba River frontage. This elevated 5-bedroom retreat blends modern comfort with total seclusion, yet sits minutes from Sugar Bowl Resort, Soda Springs Mountain Resort, Royal Gorge, and the historic Rainbow Lodge.

Whether you're paddling across the calm lake at sunrise, enjoying a refreshing swim on a warm afternoon, fishing from the rowboat, or unwinding beside the South Yuba River, the property offers countless ways to connect with nature. As evening falls, gather under a sky filled with stars and enjoy the peace and quiet that only a private mountain retreat can provide.
